Fifty-nine seasons after the first kickoff took place at the University of Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, the players and fans have a new reason to cheer. The War Memorial Stadium East Enhancements and Wildcatter Expansion Project is under way and on schedule.
The stadium, dedicated as a living memorial to Wyoming’s men and women who served in World War II, opened for the 1950 football season with an original capacity of 20,000. Stadium capacity will be 28,000 upon completion of the current project.
